The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1887-05-19

Constitutional limitations and re
strictions are matters that Iowa
republican leaders and legislators
regard very lightly. The absolute
freedom and safety Of the common
laboring people OF a state are shield
ed and protected in the fundamen-
tai laws or constitution. The peo-
pie OF Iowa to avoid extravagant
expenditures and oppressive taxa
ton in article 7 section 2 OF the
constitution prohibit the state in
curing an indebtedness directly or
Indirectly exceeding $250.OOO.
Regardless Of this wise and safe
constitutional provision the state
debt of Iowa has never been less
than double the constitutional limit
during the last fifteen years.
May lst, 1856 it was $6l7 ,S55. IS
May 1st, 1857, it was SsO7 ,675.3s
Paid in the last year . 1O,180.3O
Laboring men, farmers, mer.
chants and mechanics should study
these facts and figures and stand
together in putting down the ha-
bitual yiolators OF our fundamental
law.

PREMATURE BURIAL.

What Medical Journal Has to Say About
This Much Discussed Calamity.
Much has been said and written con-
corning the danger of premature burial,
and the subject has even become to
some nervous persons the persistent
horror of their lives. That few au-
thenticated cases have occurred in
which the still living body has been by
some strange oversight consigned to
the grave we are not disposed to deny.
1t is possible, however. that the number
of such cases has been exaggerated.
Too much has possibly been made of the
evidence of movement in corpses which
have been exhumed. A critic, writing
on this subject, throws the whole re-
sponsibility for live burials on our pro-
fessional brethren. This is a sweeping
and certainly unfair judgment. He
accuses them solely on the ground
that in many cases they do not.
in order to certify death, proceed
to make an examination of the
supposed corpse, and suggests that
certificates Of death might be fraudu-
lently obtained by unprincipled attend
ants on the sick as preparatory step
to murder. Now, this is one of those
arguments which, however they may
sound in theory, have little, If any,
practical meaning. Medical men, we
admit, do not always think it necessary
to view the body of deceased patient
before certification. In many instances
there is no need that they should do so.
They have been in regular attendance;
have ascertained the nature of the dis
ease; have gagged its probable issue.
and, finally, have seen the actual APP
proach of death, which, in few hours
time, has occurred, and of this they are
assured on the testimony of persons
whom they know to be well principled
and judicious. Surely they are entitled
in all the circumstances to accept the
statement as true. Where there is doubt
either as to the signs apparent or the
character of informants, 1t il the duty
of every practitioner to inspect the body
Of his patient, and any departure from
this rule must, we are sure, at all events
in this country, be very exceptional

TO MOTHER.

In my heart a tender song
Has been sounding very long,
For its tones so wondrous sweet
Were the first my ears to greet.
And shall be the last to roll
Over my departing soul;
II was heard in hours Of pain
Borne IN patience for my gain;
1t was sung to hush my cries,
1t was shown in loving eyes,
1t was taught my lisping tongue,
And would it might be sung
Sweet as angels sing above
The pure song OF mothers Lowell
Mothers lovei o, who shall measure
AL the meanings this may treasurer
Weary years of toll and sorrow,
Hopes the sinking heart would borrow,
Prayers that rise through seas of tears,
Fond devotion fringed with fears,
Self-denial, asking none,
Faith whose course Is never run
Mothers love, it never quails,
Till at last the great soul fails.
And the trembling hands are dropped,
And the dauntless heart is stopped.
Then in vain regret we pine
For that mothers love divine.
o my mother now to you
May my gratitude be true,
Summer has been full OF storm,
Winter now enfolds your form,
And your head begins TO show
Traces OF the falling snow,
Yet would ] each care erase
From that dear familiar face,
Bring your eyes the happy glow
OF your childhood long ago,
Be one child who did not wait
To return before too late
Mothers love, kiss, and caress,
All her latest days to bless.
